Retrieve an App previously paid for

Hello,
I have 1 Iphone and an account with Apple. I have considered purchasing more software and hardware from you product range as I like what you offer. How ever since owning the Iphone and purchasing one software purchase as an experiment I do not feel like I would like to continue using your products. Why do I feel this way:
1) Today I rang your Australian office 133 622, to ask how I could retrieve the previous paid game (ATC 4). Whilst on the phone waiting in the que I was disconnected without warning. i rerang the number and went through the menu again and waited about a minute before being disconnected again. You may tell me that the system is disconnecting me due to an overload in your system but from my perspective its about customer service. I am sure you understand!
2) When I purchased the game (ATC 4) from apple store it functioned well and was enjoyable but unfortunately my iphone had to be reset due to some software update issues at the time (Which I also had to ring Apple about). After the iphone reset there was no facility that I was aware of at the time which allowed me to reinstall my paid version of the game. Today I see that there is a way to retrieve software from 18 months of purchase. My complaints also extend to the software being able to be retrieved at anytime during my account activation. I paid for it and it should be available otherwise why would I want to do it again?
The reason for my complaint today is to let you know the above but also to tell you that because of this lack of service, and lack of paid software previously paid for, it gives me no confidence to purchase more software ie TomTom apps etc for the Iphone or any other hardware and software using this surrent system because if I have a further reset of my iphone etc there is no guarantee I can recover what I paid for.
I would appreciate a reply when you are ready, thank you.

Updates for previously paid for apps that address stability issues, bug fixes, other improvements that a customer is entitled to

Why is the policy of Apple to prohibit customers from downloading FREE updates for previously paid for apps that address stability issues, bug fixes and other improvements that a customer is entitled to because the customer does not currently have a credit card on file that they can verify has an available balance??? I can understand it even for free apps or apps on sale or because most of those apps depend on in-app purchases but COME ON. Where is the ethics in that policy? Where is the consumer protection? Especially considering the ONLY marketplace to receive these third party products is through apple. INSANE.
Wasted another 3 or 4 hours today trying to find a solution. I am unable to provide alternative payment method and money is tight for next 2 weeks but this is temporary. It's not as if I will never be purchasing more apps and apple products in the future. I have been a loyal apple customer since the days when Power!ac 9500 retailed for $8,000.00. Another words for a very long time.
Anyone else find this to be a legitimate issue?

I am all for any instance where I am asked to verify my account or Apple ID. The issue is that I am being denied delivery of a beneficial update of a premium, already paid for app... Because I am (at the moment) maxxed out with my credit card I have associated with my Apple ID.
There are four different (full version) paid for apps that just all released major updates. The third party developers offer the updates for free to customers who have purchased the full version of the app and the update includes stability improvements, iOS 7 comparability, bug fixes and expanded functionality.
These are not apps that, in total, cost over $100... And that I use every day.
Never had an issue with being required to verify my account or Apple ID.

Developers control which versions of their app is in the store. If a developer releases a new version and pulls the old version then it will no longer be available in the store.
If you sync the device that has the older app in ITunes on your computer and choose to transfer purchases, you will then have your own saved copy of the app. Then, sync the other device and select to install that app from the list of locally saved purchases.

I Forgot Some Apps I Paid For

Hi. I forgot some apps I paid for and I don't think I have it backed up in iTunes. How do you display just the apps you paid for? If a query like that is not possible, is there another way to display just your paid apps?
There're only two buttons on App Store- Free and $x.xx (x is a variable which stands for the amount and currency, so xx.xx for other currencies), I think there should be a third button named Paid so that there's no confusion between Free because it is totally free/Lite version or Free because it was already paid for. Thank you in advance.
Gbu,

Go into the account settings/management for the iTunes Store and you can view download history.

Why am I unable to download any of the apps having paid for my subscription?

I have paid for my annual subscription.
The desktop is only showing trial versions of the apps.
When I ask to download an app the words 'downloading' appear on the screen but there is no downloading going on for Premier Pro.
In Design seems to have downloaded, but now it is showing as a trial version even though I left it downloading all last night and this morning it said it was fully up to date.
I can't get in to Premier Pro at all! I had a previous trial version of Premier Pro on my Mac that has now run out - could this interfere).
Extremely frustrated. Hoping there is a simple solution.
Thanks

No option to download the app I paid for

I signed up for Creative Cloud in order to download and use After Effects. After having gone through the whole process, my bill and account show that I am subscribed to use AE but I can find no option for actually downloading AE. It doesn't show up on my apps page, and the "download now" options in both confirmation emails just lead back to that same AE-less app page. Not sure why this is, and getting rather annoyed by it since I've paid for a product that it's not letting me access.

Which operating system? Could it be Windows 7 32 bit?
After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 require a 64-bit operating system and processor to be installed and run.
After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 not available for installation for 32-bit systems

HT201342 What happens to the apps I paid for because I did restore and backup iPad and now they have gone

My I pad did a system restore last nite and now I carnt recover some of the things I have paid for how do I get them back

Nope, the apps stay there until you delete them.
I currently sync 2 iPhones and 2 iPod Touch units all to one iTunes store account, and per the Apple licensing, they all can run apps I have purchased. I had a similar question as you when I first started using multiple devices, so I sent an email to the app author for the app I wanted most to do this with. His response was that this is Apple's terms, so if I didn't want to purchase a second license to use his app on a second device, then I didn't need to (but he wouldn't stop me if I wanted to either). In the end, I found this app author to be very dedicated to his app, and very responsive to my comments/requests, so I did purchase a second copy of his app (yes, I had my wife create an iTunes account and purchase it under her account).

I have just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 then reinstalled the CS4 I had previously paid for (including the unique code number). Now I get an error message that says "Licencing has stopped working".

I have just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and then reinstalled CS4 (purchased a couple of years back and paid for) then input the unique code number. Now I get an error msg that says "Licencing has stopped working". What do I need to do?

HT6032 Purchase instruments again in GarageBand 2.0 when it was previously paid for?

It says here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6032) that if we purchased a previous version of GarageBand, we can restore the missing instrument. However, I tried tapping on the Already Purchased and logged in my credentials but still unable to get the full version of GarageBand on the iOS. I called the Apple Support and they told me I need to purchase AGAIN!?!? THis is contradicting what is mentioned in the article?
Come on Apple! This is not the way to make money. Why do I have to RE-pay for an app that I have already purchase before with full functionalities and then with one update, you took thme away and ask me to pay again. It is just not right.

Apple Support doesn't support iTunes Store issues and often doesn't really know what they're talking about. The iTunes Store has no phone support. Presuming you downloaded the new version of GarageBand using the same iTunes Store ID and password you previously purchased the instruments under, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
If you used a different Apple ID, that's probably why it's not working. You'll need to either delete GarageBand and try to re-download it using the ID you purchased the instruments under, or repurchase the instruments.
Regards.

How do I get an app I paid for back on my phone

I bought an app and it doesnt seemed to be saved in Itunes. I am loading my new phone up again and it is missing an app. I broke my old phone so I can not save my old info into Itunes.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

You can re-download purchased apps for free, as long as you use the same account used to originally obtain them. Just re-download the app in question to your iTunes library & sync it to your phone.

Latest sync deleted most of my apps including paid for games

my usual sync with itunes just decided to remove most of my apps a few of which were payed for..
i didnt even mean to sync i just plugged it in to charge..
what the ... ????

You could use Time Machine to go back in time when your iTunes still had the apps and restore the folder from this backup. The folder is called "Mobile Applications" in user/music/itunes.
Or download them again for free: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Cleartune has updates available, but I keep getting a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store" all other updates work just fine? The one app I paid for is the one that for some reason will not work. How can I upgrade without buying it again?

I loaded cleartune a while back, there are upgrades/updates available, which I'm trying to load. When I choose update, it asks for my password, which I provide and I get a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store" I have many other apps I've loaded and upgraded just fine. However this one, the one I actually wanted bad enough to pay for, is wanting me to delete it and buy another copy. How can I update Cleartune without buying it again?

Hi all,
This is a very interesting situation. I did try to update one of my apps within itunes as was suggested. That worked !!
But then I noticed that I had 2 different logins that I must have created over the years. I almost forgot. I have a apple ID and an AOL ID. It seems that I purchased (actually they are all free) some apps with one ID and other apps with the other ID. I must have done this by accident.
So when I log out of one of the IDs on my Touch and then log in with the other ID, I can update the apps.
It seems that something changed on Apple's servers. It seems that until recently I was able to update free apps regardless of what ID I originally bought them with. Now it seems that's not the case. Apple must check this now.
Now that I know what the issue is, I'll make sure I use one ID all the time.
Thanks,
Steve
